Good pale color for the vintage. Superripe, complex nose offers apricot, honey, baked bread and spices. Concentrated and thick in the mouth, with a distinctly velvety texture, even in the context of the vintage. A real yellow peach and apricot fruit bomb, with uncanny sweetness. This grand cru site gets a lot of late afternoon sun and is almost always the highest in alcohol of my wines, notes Fontaine.

Rating for France-Burgundy: 90 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>

brilliant on its own and with Chinese food. all complete in nose and finish. a bit of sweet pears on palette leading to a very long and elegant ending. another strong testament to the 2006 burgundy whites.
